Mated To My Ruthless Alpha Instructor

He's the Institute's most dangerous secret. I'm the scholarship student who refuses to look away. When Lena Ashford receives a mysterious full scholarship to Thornfield Institute—a centuries-old academy hidden in the Scottish Highlands where werewolf scholars are trained in ancient bloodlines and forbidden control—she thinks she's earned the opportunity of a lifetime. Instead, she's handed a condition no one warned her about: every student is bonded to an Alpha instructor, and hers is Dr. Kieran Blackwood, the most ruthless professor on campus, whispered to have destroyed his last protégé. From the moment his amber eyes find hers, Lena feels a pull she can't explain—primal, undeniable, terrifying. But the deeper she digs into Thornfield's gothic halls and locked archives, the more she uncovers a truth far darker than any fated-mate fantasy: the bond isn't sacred. It's manufactured. And the professor she's falling for may be both her greatest danger and her only way out. With a Harvest Moon ceremony approaching that will bind her forever, Lena has weeks to expose centuries of institutional secrets—without losing herself, her mind, or the man she was never supposed to want. If you love slow-burn alpha romance, forbidden professor-student tension, gothic university settings, and werewolf mate bonds with real stakes, Mated To My Ruthless Alpha Instructor will keep you reading past midnight.
